DATE: July 16, 2009
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting—July 23, 2009
ITEM: 10E1. Consider a resolution expressing official intent to reimburse cost of acquiring
certain vehicles and equipment.
Department:
Staff Person:
Justification:
Finance
Cheryl Delaney, Finance Director
In accordance with the operating budget, certain equipment is acquired with cash and subsequently
financed for three years through a tax-exempt leasing arrangement. Because of the tax-exempt nature
of the financing, Internal Revenue Service regulations require the City to state its intensions before the
transactions are completed. This type of financing allows the City to acquire new equipment and replace
equipment and rolling stock in a timely manner as requirement criteria are met. For the current fiscal
year, the fire apparatus and equipment (Quint) to be financed is $755,391.00.
Funding:
Cost: $755,391.00
Source of funds: General Debt Service Fund
Payment of principle in interest for the three year amortization of this obligation is funded from the
debt service portion of the property tax rate.
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
This lease will replace a Reserve 3 purchased in 1996 with a Quint. A Fire Master Lease program was
developed to ensure timely and affordable replacement of aging fire apparatus. The tax-exempt lease
rates offer a very favorable cost of capital to the City.
